title: Platelet-derived growth factor BB mediates the glioma-induced migration of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells by promoting the expression of vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 through the PI3K, P38 MAPK and NF-κB pathways.
abstract: Platelet-derived growth factor BB (PDGFBB) has been shown to activate the migration of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs), and to contribute to mediating the tropism of BM-MSCs towards gliomas. However, the exact mechanism of this migratory behavior remains to be elucidated. The present study investigated the role of vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) in the PDGFBB-induced migration of BM-MSCs, the effect of PDGFBB on VCAM-1 expression of BM-MSCs and related signaling pathways involved in this process. Rat BM-MSCs were isolated and cultured by their characteristics of adherence to plastics. The concentrations of PDGFBB in the conditioned medium of C6 and U87 cells were measured using the ELISA method. In vitro migration assays using a VCAM-1 blocking antibody were performed to evaluate the role of VCAM-1 in PDGFBB-induced migration of BM-MSCs. The effect of rat recombinant PDGFBB on VCAM-1 expression of BM-MSCs was studied by RT-PCR and western blotting. LY294002, SB203580, PD98059, SP600125 and BAY11-7082 were used to explore the role of PI3K, p38 MAPK, MEK, JNK and NF-κB in the related intracellular signal transduction of PDGFBB stimulation on VCAM-1 expression of BM-MSCs. The data demonstrated that the neutralization of VCAM-1 inhibited the migration of BM-MSCs induced by PDGFBB. Additionally, PDGFBB stimulation increased VCAM-1 expression of BM-MSCs, which could be inhibited by LY294002, SB203580 and BAY11-7082. It is reasonable to conclude that PDGFBB significantly enhanced the expression of VCAM-1 in BM-MSCs, which facilitated the migration of BM-MSCs towards PDGFBB. PI3K, p38 MAPK and NF-κB were involved in the signal transduction of this process.
